The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

Take a day off.

The next day, Ji Yinghuai, Jiang Wenjing and two other generals each led a team of people into the mountains from different directions.

Although Jiang Shian knew that Ji Yinghuai was very powerful, he couldn't help but feel a little worried as swords have no eyes. Every day he would look out at the city gate from his doorstep, looking forward to everyone's triumphant return.

The terrain of the mountain stronghold is complex, and Ji Yinghuai has fought countless tough battles, big and small. The troops that came this time were all from the emperor's side, and everyone obeyed his orders, so the two teams going up the mountain were relatively smooth.

At the foot of the mountain, another general was waiting with 5,000 troops. If anything unexpected happened, they could work together inside and outside to catch the bandits in one fell swoop.

Originally, everyone thought that it would take at least a month, but they didn't expect that in just nine days, they captured all the bandits in the mountain stronghold without losing a single soldier.

Except for the second in command who refused to surrender even at the cost of his life, some bandits who stubbornly resisted and refused to surrender were beheaded, and the rest were all forced out of the mountain in a mighty force under the command of the army.

There are fugitives who have committed all kinds of crimes and are wanted by the imperial court, and there are also some who have accidentally gone astray. According to Jiang Wenjing's statistics, there are still more than 6,000 these bandits.

It is not a small amount, and those who have committed a crime have to wait for the county magistrate to complete the investigation before they can be convicted.

The identities of those women, children and young children all need to be re-verified, but these matters have little to do with Jiang Shian and the others. The bandits have been cleared out, and the subsequent settlement is the responsibility of the county magistrate.

Except for Jiang Wenjing and his men, the rest of the soldiers packed up and returned to the capital the next day.

The Jiang family's case was finally decided. Jiang Boyuan murdered his brother and sister-in-law, and then colluded with bandits, the prefect and others to send people to kill the current top scholar. The evidence was conclusive and he was executed three days later.

Since none of the family property belonged to Jiang Boyuan, no punishment was imposed here.

Jiang Xian has committed all kinds of evil and bullied the people several times. According to the petition, he was sentenced to 120 strokes of the cane, three months in prison, and compensation for the people's losses. If he commits the same crime again, he will not be forgiven.

Chen Shu, as a prefect, knowingly broke the law...

It is said that on the day of the verdict, most of the people in the city gathered at the gate of the yamen.

When the people heard the verdict, some shed tears, while others applauded.

On the day of execution, Chen Zhifu, Jiang Boyuan and others were taken to the Dongcheng Vegetable Market in a wooden cage prison cart for execution. The onlookers had rotten vegetable leaves in their hands and threw them in the faces of the people as they passed by.

A few men with bad tempers looked at the people in the prison van and spat in their faces: "Bah, God is wise, you guys deserve to die."

This can be regarded as one of the biggest cases in Qingping County in the past ten years. The people discussed it for two days, and their enthusiasm gradually faded. They only hoped in their hearts that the official sent by the court this time would be a good official who would serve the people.

In the past half month, Jiang Shian's Huai'an shops have opened up on all major streets in the city.

The business that was previously ruined by Jiang Boyuan gradually began to recover after reorganization.

Everyone knows that it is this young master who is doing business in the Jiang family now. Because Mr. Jiang already has a good impression of Jiang Shian, and coupled with what happened to Prefect Chen this time, everyone trusts him even more.

Jiang Shi'an did not disappoint everyone and sent someone to spread the news two days before the shop reopened. Three days before the new store opened, all items in the shop were half price. In addition, several newly opened shops selling toothbrushes, tooth powder, and soap all had a buy two get one free promotion.

Originally, other merchants and shops were worried that this incident would affect their own shops, so they closed early. They also thought that after the matter was settled, they could reopen.

Because of Jiang Shian's sudden move, most of the customers flowed into Jiang's shop.

It is impossible for them to resume their previous business.

For some reason, the immoral things he had done in the past were suddenly dug up and all kinds of rumors spread in the city.

During the Great Cold in the past two years, they bought a large amount of charcoal, rice and other items, and then sold them at six or seven times the price.

At that time, many people froze to death or starved to death. When the imperial court issued a clear order to prohibit merchants from taking advantage of disasters to make huge profits, they stood by and watched, monopolizing business and cargo exchanges in many places to make huge profits.

This time they were caught and fined a large sum of money, almost emptying their family fortune.

Jiang Shian was not a stingy person. He had no idea of ​​monopolizing the business. Instead, he found several shopkeepers who had a good relationship with Mr. Jiang and did not take advantage of his misfortune.

After discussion, he decided to provide the source of goods, and everyone would buy the goods from him and then sell them to other places.

They had all seen the things Jiang Shian was selling, and they had seen them in the shops of several wealthy families before, and the prices were ridiculously high. The things were novel, and many rich people chased to buy them, but they were always out of stock. Unexpectedly, the source of the goods was actually this young master.

Everyone agreed and signed the document.

It is worth mentioning that the largest inn in the city suddenly closed its doors. According to the waiters who came out, their boss was going to do business somewhere else and was going to sell the property.

It was kept closed for four or five days.

One morning, a large group of people gathered outside the restaurant again. The upstairs was hung with red silk again, and the plaque was changed to read "Huai'an Restaurant".

The business reopened with the sound of firecrackers.

Time flies and it’s already December.

Jiang Wenjing and his companions had been in the county town for almost a month when a letter came from the capital. The emperor, taking into consideration the sudden changes in Jiang Wenjing's family, specially allowed him to return to the capital to report on his work after the New Year.

But it wasn't possible for Lin Le. All his relatives were in the capital, and it would be against the rules if he didn't go back.

Lin Le had no choice but to persuade Jiang Wenjing to come back to Beijing to see him after the New Year. Only then did he reluctantly get on the carriage and was escorted back to Beijing by the guards.

Snowflakes fell gently, and the people at the gate of Jiang Mansion watched the carriage gradually go away.

The roofs and tree branches were covered with white frost, and everything around was white.

There were few people on the road, and the occasional passers-by would just lower their heads and walk by.

Instead, there were some playful children who gathered in groups of two or three to play snowball fights, and their laughter could be heard from far away.

Everyone put on thick winter clothes.

Jiang Shian was also wrapped in a white fox fur coat and a white rabbit fur scarf around his collar.

The soft white rabbit fur makes Jiang Shian's face look even smaller.

It was cold, and his face looked much paler than before, the tip of his nose was red, and he was holding a hand warmer in his hand, pressed against his chest.

Jiang Shian opened his mouth and a cloud of white gas came out of his mouth.

Before he could say anything, he sneezed.

"Ah."

Jiang Shian lowered his head and held back the tears welling up in his eyes.

Ji Yinghuai hurriedly pulled him into the house, his steps a little hurried: "I told you not to come out. You just recovered from your cold, why are you sneezing again? I'll ask Uncle Qian to make another dose of medicine later."

"Ah~" Jiang Shian complained, "I don't want it. I've been taking medicine for half a month. Now everything I eat tastes bitter."

"It's because you took the medicine intermittently that you haven't recovered. Don't think I don't know. When I was not around, you poured the medicine into the flowerpot. This time I supervised you while you drank it..."

Jiang Wenjing looked at the backs of the two people and shook his head helplessly.

He seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene and there was no surprise on his face.

He is the younger brother of this guy. He looks soft and innocent and can be bullied by anyone.

He doesn't listen to anyone on weekdays, and when he encounters something he doesn't want to do, he either acts like a spoiled child or makes a fuss. Especially when it comes to taking medicine, people in the mansion really have no way to deal with him.

Jiang Shian was completely helpless when facing Ji Yinghuai. After all, who could have thought that the legendary and powerful King Zhan Bei would coax him in a nice way for several hours just to get him to drink more medicine.

The backs of the two people in front disappeared in the snow. Jiang Wenjing looked up at the sky. He seemed to be looking through the heavy clouds at a place that did not belong here.

In the evening, Jiang Shian confessed his identity to Jiang Wenjing.

In fact, judging from the last test, Jiang Wenjing was somewhat suspicious of the identity of this "brother", but this kind of thing was too weird and the other party looked exactly like "Shi An", so he was suspicious but did not dare to think too much about it.

Jiang Shian had a solemn look on his face and told the whole story of how he came into this world and became "Jiang Shian".

He himself is also "Jiang Shian", but he is not Jiang Wenjing's biological brother, nor is he the "Jiang Shian" of this era, but a "Jiang Shian" with the same name and surname from another world.

Jiang Wenjing was stunned by his series of yes and no questions, and his brows furrowed more and more as he listened.
